Article Abstract
Due to urbanization, air pollution has become one of the most serious environmental problems, threatening human health and causing adverse effects on other environments. In order to improve air quality, it is necessary to analyze the relationship between urban form and air pollution and propose optimization strategies. This study is dedicated to collecting PM concentration data on different grades of roads through mobile monitoring technology, which is then corrected using national fixed monitoring stations. At the same time, combining the meteorological data obtained during the experiment by fixed-point monitoring, RF model was used to deeply analyze the influence of urban form on PM concentration, providing a scientific and effective reference basis for urban planning. The results showed that the PM concentration in autumn was significantly higher than that in summer, and the pollution in the southern region was heavier than that in the northern region. The influence of different urban forms on buffer radius is different. Mean building height, population density, floor area ratio and impervious surface proportion are the key urban form indicators affecting PM. In future urban planning, it is recommended to reasonably control building heights within a 500-meter buffer zone along roads, optimize urban building layouts, and promote population relocation from old urban areas to expand urban green space and alleviate PM pollution in Urumqi. Therefore, quantitative analysis of the relationship between PM concentrations and urban form elements can assist decision-makers in urban planning and management.

Introduction: Smoking after a cancer diagnosis is associated with poor outcomes whereas smoking cessation improves survival and other outcomes. Although professional societies and practice guidelines call for equitable tobacco treatment delivery in healthcare, disparities in tobacco-related disease burden persist.
Methods: In the context of an outpatient US cancer center's population-based tobacco treatment program, this study examines associations between cancer survivors' rural and Appalachian residence status and: 1) current tobacco use status, 2) decision to decline tobacco treatment, and 3) reason for declining assistance.

Inland water ecosystems play key roles in the production, transportation, transformation, storage, and consumption of global greenhouse gases (GHG). Different water body types exhibit spatial and temporal differences after considering factors such as season and aquatic plant life forms. The results revealed that the annual global warming potential (GWP) (Tg CO-eq yr) from swamps, rivers, lakes, and reservoirs in China were 1382.

This study assesses the performance of the ADMS-Urban dispersion model in estimating 1-h mean nitrogen dioxide (NO) concentrations within the street canyons of Prague. While traditional air quality modeling that relies on sparse data from localized monitoring stations, this approach pioneers the integration of traffic, background, and rooftop sensor network, to archive a more granular validation of model outputs. The results demonstrate robust model performance, with FAC2 values ranging from 0.

Background: Measurement-based care (MBC), including remote MBC, is increasingly being considered or implemented for mental health treatment and outcomes monitoring in routine clinical care. However, little is known about the health equity implications in real-world practice or the impact on patient-provider relationships in lower-resource systems that offer mental health treatment for diverse patients.
Objective: This hypothesis-generating study examined the drivers of MBC implementation outcomes, the implications for health equity, and the impact of MBC on therapeutic alliance (TA).
